What are things that can affect the speed of a chemical reaction?

∙ 8y ago
Some different things that could speed/slow up/down a chemical reaction are:
Temperature
(If higher, molecules move faster, reactions speeds up) SPEED UP
Temperature
(If lower, molecules will move slower, reaction slower) SLOW DOWN
CATALYST
(A catalyst is anything that SPEEDS up a reaction without being consumed[running out of energy]) SPEED UP
Concentration
More substrates [reactants/puzzle pieces to enzymes faster reaction)SPEED UP
Concentration
(Less substrates- slower reaction) SLOW DOWN
...well, there you go... :)

Do catalysts affect temperature?
A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.
What function catalyst perform in chemical reaction?
Catalysts speed up the chemical reaction.
What it will change adding a catalyst to a chemical reaction?
It will increase or decrease the speed of the chemical reaction.
Does glucose increases the speed of chemical reaction?
NO
What is the difference between rate of reaction and chemical equation?
The chemical equation is the word expression of a chemical reaction.The rate of reaction give information about the speed of this reaction.
Do catalysts affect temperature?
A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.
What are enzymes called because they affect the speed of chemical reaction without being consumed?
enzymes are never consumed in a chemical reaction, therefore the answer to your question is that enzymes that affect the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed are indeed called enzymes.
What things can be done to change how fast a chemical reaction occurs?
You can add a catalyst, or raise the temperature, or change the pressure, these are some of the things done to speed up a chemical reaction.
How do enzymes affect the reaction in living things?
Enzymes act as catalysts. They speed up the reaction time.
What can speed up a chemical reaction by decreasing?
chemical reaction
What is chemical reaction in an enzyme?
to speed up a chemical reaction
Which term refers to proteins that speed up chemical reaction in living things?
enzymes
What things will slow down or speed up a chemical reaction such as between vinegar and baking powder?
Heat would speed up the reaction, while cold would slow the reaction.
What is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction?
Activation energy is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction.
What term refers to protein that speed up chemical reaction in living things?
Enzyme
How is the speed of chemical reaction related to the spontaneity of the reaction?
The speed of a given chemical reaction is directly responsible for spontaneity of the reaction. The reaction force and effect is contingent upon the speed of the reaction. The faster the reaction, the more force will be produced.
What aspects of chemical reaction are enzymes known to affect?
Enzymes affect the speed of reactions predominantly. In some instances in which more than one reaction is possible, enzymes increase the speed of the normally slower reaction enough to make it predominate, while the other possible reaction is effectively suppressed.
